Hi, everyone. I'm a new member, hoping I can get some help finding the birth and death of my great-great-great-great grandfather William Blanchard, who must have been born about 1770's, probably in Boston, MA; I find his marriage to Abigail Wheeler of Stoughton, MA on May 1, 1800 in Boston. His descendants are: 1. John Wheeler Blanchard, b. 3/25/1803 in Boston, MA, m. Sarah Badger 5/22/1824. 2. John Wheeler Blanchard, Jr., b. 5/4/1831 in Boston, MA, m. Harriet Chambers 9/11/1854. 3. Carlton Shepard Blanchard, b. 3/1863 in Dorchester, MA, m. Flora Estes 12/23/1895. 4. Carlton Shepard Blanchard, Jr., b. 9/22/1897 in New Bedford, MA, m. Elsie May Tapper. 5. Robert Winslow Blanchard, b. 9/16/1927 in Newton, MA, m. Antonette Castiglione (my parents). I have researched many sources, and I do not think William is descended from either the noted Thomas or Joseph Blanchards of this area. Thanks to all for any help you can give, with this search or any other information about my Blanchard line. Best wishes, Frances (Blanchard) Fahey
